| Parody Song Title: | "Drowned In Silence" |
| Parody Written by: | Dee Range |
Hello Alexander Bell
I hope you're rotting down in hell
Because my telephone is still beeping
Read my bill and I am still weeping
The decision...that I made with my cell plan
Wasn't grand
'Cause now I'm drowned...in silence
I wake from dreams of ringing phones
Marrow tweets within my bones
Squeak a hello from my sheets lair
I start to holler 'cause there's no one there
Then my eyes just glanced at the flash of a "LOW BAT" light
Well don't THAT bite
'Cause now I'm drowned...in silence
Gaze at that warning light and muse
Three thousand minutes I have used
All that talking while I'm drinking
All those day calls...what was I thinking?
Times I'm put on hold, no choices, just despair
And no one cares
That I'm just holding silence
"Phones", said I, "they really blow"
And hurl mine with a mighty throw
Then the words I detest so much...
"If you need to make a call, hang up"
But my phone, lay shattered where it fell
I wondered...what the HELL???
Then silence
(Slight pause while I drive to the phone store)
And the sales clerk laughed and brayed
At the new choice that I made
'Cause the phone flashed out "YOU'RE ROAMING"
See my mouth, it was now foaming
And the clerk said that "Most of our profits we're gettin' from those roaming calls
The sentiment galls
I whipped him with some rounds...of vi'lence
I hope you're rotting down in hell
Because my telephone is still beeping
Read my bill and I am still weeping
The decision...that I made with my cell plan
Wasn't grand
'Cause now I'm drowned...in silence
I wake from dreams of ringing phones
Marrow tweets within my bones
Squeak a hello from my sheets lair
I start to holler 'cause there's no one there
Then my eyes just glanced at the flash of a "LOW BAT" light
Well don't THAT bite
'Cause now I'm drowned...in silence
Gaze at that warning light and muse
Three thousand minutes I have used
All that talking while I'm drinking
All those day calls...what was I thinking?
Times I'm put on hold, no choices, just despair
And no one cares
That I'm just holding silence
"Phones", said I, "they really blow"
And hurl mine with a mighty throw
Then the words I detest so much...
"If you need to make a call, hang up"
But my phone, lay shattered where it fell

Great job! Really nice. What's with all the SOS parodies all of a sudden -- I'm working on one myself.
i was gonna phone ya and tell ya how good this was...couldn't get through....5s plus...nice job
This parody rings of truth and humor.....555
A cingular effort!
Great job, Dee, 555 prefix! Pardon me, I have to take this call..
"One ringy-dingie...(SNORT)...Two ringy-dingies...(SNORT-SNORT)...Hello?...Is this the parody to whom I am fiving?"
Oh and by the way, Dee, my vote was 555-4U4U.
Dee Range: " Hello?" Red Ant: " Yes I'm calling to congr...hold please." Dee is on hold for 5 minutes. Red Ant: " Sorry about that Dee Range I was calling to congratulate you on.... hold please. " Dee waits another 5 minutes. Red Ant: "I'm truly sorry Dee Range. I... hold please. " Dee Range hurls the phone and it shatters into 5 pieces.
You've connected here..this is definitely not phoney...dialing 555
hard song to parody, and you did a fine job
Finally, the lines are clear, and I've gotten through! Dial 555-GOOD-JOB. Strange: I've never parodied "The Sound of Silence." (Some people would say I've never PRODUCED the sound of silence.) Maybe that's because it's our national anthem, especially during Republican Administrations: "And the people bowed and prayed... to the neon god they made..." I could just post the original lyrics and say they were about Bush, and William Tong would say, "Why didn't I think of that?"
